1. The Coolest Place On Earth
That's the slogan of an amazing place in Reykjavík, capital of Iceland. The correctly named Ice Bar is exactly what it says it is - a glass palace filled to the brim with countless heavy blocks of massive ice. Patrons do the decadent thing by arriving rather skimpily dressed, knowing that they wil be offered a massive white coat of fur - your choice of animal, from polar bear to polar fox, but always polar something. The drinks are priced accordingly, and since we're talking Iceland, anyway, this means prices that would make any 7-star hotel blush.
